Evaluating the test re-test reliability and inter-subject variability of health care provider manual fluid resuscitation performance

BackgroundHealth Care Providers (HCPs) report that manual techniques of intravascular fluid resuscitation are commonly used during pediatric shock management. The optimal pediatric fluid resuscitation technique is currently unknown. We sought to determine HCP test-retest reliability (repeatability) and inter-subject variability of fluid resuscitation performance outcomes to inform the design of future studies.MethodsFifteen consenting HCPs from …
